There are many additional factors that must also be considered in order to determine whether the case can be dismissed or reduced. I recommend your call an experienced DUI attorney to go over your case thoroughly.

How long will they suspend my license? And is it possible to get permission to be able to drive at my work? .19% alcohol?

DUI cases are beatable. In many cases reasonable doubt can be created as to whether you were over the legal limit at the time of driving. Police often rush the investigation and other times aren’t properly prepared when they testify in court or at the DMV Hearing. Proper legal representation can exploit weaknesses in the case against you.

When looking for an attorney make sure you ONLY an attorney who focuses solely in DUI defense. You do not want to hire a "jack of all trades master in none". You need an attorney whose entire life is dedicated to fighting drunk driving charges. Good luck

When looking for an attorney make sure you ONLY an attorney who focuses solely in DUI defense. You do not want to hire a "jack of all trades master in none". You need an attorney whose entire life is dedicated to fighting drunk driving charges. Those fees are a bit high If you keep searching, you will find a more reasonably priced DUI defense attorney.

Many DUI lawyers will take a DUI case on a flat fee basis, meaning they will give you a flat rate for representation throughout the entire case. You will usually pay part of the cost, or even the entire cost upfront. This is known as a retainer payment.

Experience with DUI cases is a key thing to look for, so don’t go with a lawyer who is "jack of all trades, master of none."

All things considered, an average DUI lawyer cost is probably going to set you back about $2,500-$5,000 for a first time DUI offense.

I was arrested for a dui with a .20 breath test and a .34 bac. This is my first offense. I have a very clean driving record.

My question is, can I get this charge reduced to a 'Wet Wreckless' or lower charge? I was sitting in my car, drinking, in a store parking lot when approached by a police officer.
